LONDON (MarketWatch) -- Oil and gas production at the Judy field in the U.K. North Sea has been shut down due to an operational problem, but should return to full production within the next couple of days, a spokeswoman for field operator ConocoPhillips
COP, -1.58%
said Thursday.

The unspecified problem is currently being investigated, she said. The field was shut down 1100 GMT Tuesday.

The Judy field, part of the J-Block complex operated by ConocoPhillips, produced 6.5 million cubic meters of gas a day and around 25,000 barrels a day of oil in September 2007, the most recent month for which U.K. government production figures are available.
